Chapter 459: Celestial Phenomenon
Despite not appearing like a cultivation sect, the Benevolent Guardian Sect had many cultivation abodes and everything a cultivator needed.
Wuhan had created this place for his own pleasure before turning it into a sect to make his own secret power.
The cultivation caves of this sect were properly concealed within formations and natural Feng Shui.
The peak adjacent to the sect had several of these cultivation caves, all assigned to the elders of the sect.
In one of these caves, Noah was sitting with his eyes closed.
The walls of rocks were covered in simple, mundane paintings, with minimal furniture and decorations to avoid distractions.
It was like any other cultivation abode.
Noah was sitting on something that appeared to be a normal tatami mat, but it was anything but normal.
The mat was engraved with several formations, one of which gathered qi from the surroundings. Even when sitting on such a hard mat, Noah felt like he was sitting on a cloud of cotton.
This was also one of the functions of this mat.
*Woosh!*
All of a sudden, an illusionary sword, one meter in length, appeared behind Noah, hovering in the air, exuding an ethereal aura.
Noah tried to fuse his understanding of sword intent into his cultivation technique.
The sword behind him started to glow with an orange hue as if it were the color of dawn. Starting from the tip of the sword, the glow moved to spread over the blade.
*Clank!*
But just as the glow moved an inch, it disappeared.
Noah failed!
Even though he failed, Noah did not immediately open his eyes. He pondered the reason for his failure. What had he done wrong?
All kinds of questions arose in his heart.
Soon, Noah dissipated his sword intent and remained seated like that.
Qi started leaking from his body, and his aura flickered as well.
Sometimes it would turn warm, sometimes the cave would glow with a warm color, and sometimes it would turn cold.
It was not just the light in the cave that was changing but also the temperature.
The reason for all this was that Noah was cultivating his sword techniques.
He was trying to reach perfection in the understanding of his sword technique. This was the conclusion he came to after thinking for a while.
To fuse his technique with the sword intent, he would have to make sure it reached the perfection stage!
It was only after he succeeded in his objective that Noah opened his eyes.
He raised his hand, and a strand of sword qi rose from his hands, hitting the rock opposite him and leaving a crouching mark.
This was the perfect stage of the Dawn series. He could release the sword strike with merely his hands without even needing a sunrise in the sky.
The most important factor for his swordsmanship was the sun. The closer it was to sunrise, the more effective his sword technique would be.
Although it was a powerful technique, Noah did not like the reliance on the sun, but now that problem had vanished.
At that moment, he was the sun himself!
It would be dawn whenever he wanted it to be!
Closing his eyes once more, Noah tried to merge the sword energy with his sword intent again.
The previous actions of promoting his sword technique to the perfection stage had taken him mere hours, mostly due to the enlightenment he had received in the sword realm.
Just like before, a sword appeared behind Noah, looking both real and illusionary at the same time.
With the blade pointed towards the ground, the sword hovered behind Noah like a crown.
Noah was quite satisfied with the changes in his sword intent. Unlike before, when his sword qi would just spread out like a berserk beast, it was now a properly concealed weapon.
He could feel the proper control he had over his power, his dao becoming stronger with each passing day.
The moment Noah activated the Dawn series, his body became warm, exuding an ethereal glow that was not there before.
This was the sign of the perfection of the Heaven-grade technique.
The strands of sword qi left his body and merged with the sword intent behind him. Unlike before, the process was smooth and felt natural to Noah.
He did not face any problems as the colors started to spread all over the blade until they reached the handle and covered it as well.
Although the process appeared fast and easy, it was not that simple. A slight frown could be seen on Noah's face. If it had been someone else instead of him, their body would have faced an even greater burden.
*Boom!*
As soon as both powerful auras merged, a huge pressure erupted from Noah's body, causing the whole Benevolent Guardian Sect to tremble.
A huge pillar of light shot through Noah's body and launched into the sky, causing it to change colors. Find your next adventure on empire
Although it was already the middle of the day, with the sun at its peak, a wave of light orange energy spread as far as the eye could see, causing it to appear as if the sun had just started to rise.
"What's happening?"
"What is that?"
"Such a huge aura. Where did it come from?"
The disciples walked out of their own cultivation chambers and looked at the pillar of light in surprise.
The energy did not stop in the air and continued to spread around.
One mile…
Ten miles…
Twenty miles…
…
One hundred miles…
It did not take long for the energy to spread through a hundred miles, and it still showed no signs of stopping.
Within these one hundred miles, the aura easily covered the capital city of the Feng Empire, along with other small towns.
Even though the people in the city could not see the pillar of light, they could see the light in the sky spreading all over the capital.
This sight caused their hearts to tremble in fear, and panic struck the crowd. They all looked for strong cultivators for help and explanations for their current situation.
